TRANSFERING THE WORD BY DECREEING AND DECLARING


TRANSFERING THE WORD BY  DECREEING AND DECLARING

Philippians 1:6   Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Paul is saying, be confident, or have confidence in what he is teaching: so, what is this very thing?

It’s the good news that God invested in you, when you made Jesus lord of your life through faith.

That this word of faith will perform or finish this work or, this very thing, until the day of Jesus Christ.

Paul was communicating the word from what god told him, to the Philippian church

Paul is saying, have confidence in God’s holy word.

The word confidence means, an assurance of mind or firm belief in the trustworthiness of another, or in the truth and reality of a fact.

Galatians 6:6-7   let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7      be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Let the person that has been taught about the word of God, then, that person should communicate with the one that does the teaching.

That’s how we grow in the word, through communication with the one that does the teaching.
we grow through communication.

The word communication means, to make known, that is to share or participate, the good news of Christ Jesus.

It also means to transfer or release the power and authority from faith.

You can’t transfer or release something you don’t have or something you don’t know.

So how do we get this word, so we can transfer or release it in our spiritual lives?

Roman 10:17   so then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Hearing by the word of God is the communication that transfers or releases the power and authority from faith.

That the forces of faith, might become effectual, or have adequate power to produce what the word through faith says. what the word says it will do.

You also release those forces of faith by acknowledging every good thing which is in you by Christ Jesus.

It is by faith that you release or transfer that communication from your spirit to your body.

Your spirit man is the real you. Your body is just the house the spirit lives in.

Hebrews 11:1   now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is not just a word, faith is a substance, it is the evidence of things not seen.

You need to stay alert, and acknowledge this “good thing” which is in you in Christ Jesus.

You must believe and confess the reality of the soul, spirit and the word, and that the power of it is real.
That reality and power will transfer knowledge from the spirit man to the natural man.

We need to be confident of the good work of God, which he will perform in you.

Isaiah 55:11   so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which i please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto i sent it.

When God speaks… things take action, when you speak, your words activate the power of God.

Life and death is in the tongue of the believer.

His word shall accomplish that which he pleases, and it shall prosper in the thing where he sends it.

3 john 1:2   beloved i wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Once you realize you can release you’re healing in your body through the stripes of Jesus, you can overcome sickness.

Release the wisdom of the word in everything that pertains to the purpose of your life.

Speak the word, it works.

When you speak his word, it activates and transfers Gods power and authority from your spirit which is supernatural to the body, which is natural.

Isaiah 54:17   no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. this is the heritage of the servants of the lord.

No weapon, natural or supernatural, will prosper against you. we are the heritage of the lord.

Start trusting God, he is still in control. don’t lean on your natural understanding.

Speak to your brain tell it you are in charge and for it to do its job.  let it know that it has been slack lately and you are not happy about it.

Tell it to line up with the mind of Christ Jesus and the word of God.

Your brain’s job is to regulate the body. if your body hurts speak to the hurt, tell it you are in control.

Talk to your finances, tell them to get in line with the word of God.

Let the spiritual body tell the natural body who is boss.

Reach out and take this power and authority that Jesus paid for, and invested in you so that you might be strong and fight that good fight of faith.

Now you see why you can’t please God without faith.

The very thing Paul was talking about was the blessed hope in Christ Jesus.

ACKNOWLEDGING THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU


ACKNOWLEDGING THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU

Philippians 1:6   Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Your faith becomes effective, after, you acknowledge every good thing which is in you, by and in Christ Jesus. We as believers must be confident in God’s living word; being fully assured and certain that when we speak the word it will accomplish what we say and not entertain any suspicions or doubts.

Why is it that we believe when we say the sinners prayer that we are saved by grace and if we die or when the rapture comes we will go to heaven, but when any circumstance comes up in our lives we say oh God what am I going to do? What will happen to me?

There are too many I’s in the equation. It has never been about what we think, it is about what Gods word says. Gods word is an assurance of the mind or a firm belief in the reality of the truth, followed by confidence in the mercy and grace of God.

It is all about trusting God and having confidence in His promises.

2 Corinthians 1:20-22   20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
This means all of the promises of God is in and through Christ Jesus. They are made possible in our life meant for our abundant benefit. Jesus came that we may have life and life more abundantly. Yes, and amen means these promises will never change.

Psalms 36:7   How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
God being who he is and in his loving kindness has prepared everything we need that we might trust him. He will cover you under the shadow of his wings, he will keep a hedge around you and give his angels charge over you.

Psalms 91:4   He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Verses 10-11   10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Gods promises are our armor of protection

1 Timothy 4:9-11   This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 These things command and teach.
The key decision in life is to determine in who or in what to place one’s trust. Trusting God requires dying to self and sometimes suffering reproach, which means we as teachers’, preachers and soul winners will be blamed for things. As Paul was. We are to teach and command these things.

John 16:13   13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
You can’t be thinking, what can I do, and be led by the Holy Spirit at the same time. You are being pulled two different ways and that won’t work. That will cause confusion. It is up to us to decide if we want to be led by self or by the Holy Spirit.
Today we are standing on a cross road and our time is running out. We need to decide what route we going to run on. Self or the leading of the Holy Spirit.
No one can make this choice for you, nor can your pastor, or even God because we have a free God given will. It is up to each of us alone to choose who or what we will follow. Gods way or the way of the world. Your going to spend eternity somewhere. The only way to spend it in heaven is to Choose God and his way, which leads us by the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 10:23   23 Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
Man is a spiritual being; we are tied to our creator who is God. Without the direction of the Holy Spirit, God our creator we will wander helplessly in the way of the world.
This is why I’m teaching on this topic. Some choices we make could cost us a very high price. Satan would just love to deceive us into believing our way of thinking in the flesh is greater than that of the one who created us. Even greater than the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 6:14   Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Most people don’t understand that what is written in the bible was not written for unbelievers. There are only two fellowships in the world, and only two. All people belong either to one or the other. No one can belong to both and claim to be a Christian. Your choice is with the world or with the word.

Matthew 7:21-23   21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Here the word is talking about the ones that tried to live by both ways. Because of the choices they made they will pay a very high price.
The ones who have eyes and don’t see and ears and refuse to hear, and a mind that doesn’t understand are unlearned and will be rejected at the white throne judgment where they read out of the book of life.
They could not understand the word because it is a spiritual book, to read and understand the word of God you must have the wisdom of discernment of the Holy Spirit. To receive this wisdom and discernment you must first accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and make him the Lord of your life.

John 3:16-18   16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
God gave his son up to the cross out of the God kind of love. That is what it took to redeem humanity. The object of Christ’s mission was to save. Rejection of him can only lead to condemnation.
Jesus is the only salvation for the world. There is no other salvation. Salvation is never by works, but rather by grace through faith in Christ Jesus.

REDEEMED TO BE THE SERVANTS OF GOD


REDEEMED TO BE THE SERVANTS OF GOD

Psalms 34:22   The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

We often wish we could escape troubles, the pain of grief, sorrow, failure, or even the small daily frustrations, that constantly wear us down. It is a battle within itself.

God promises to be close to the broken hearted, and to be our source of power, courage and wisdom. Helping us with our problems.

When trouble strikes, don’t get upset with God. Instead, admit that you need Gods help, and thank him for always being by your side.

The word “desolate” means, to forsake, abandon, or make lonely.

Hebrews 13:5-6   Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
The redeemed of God will never be forsaken, left lonely or neglected.

Job 19:25    For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

At the heart of the book of Job, comes His amazing affirmation of confidence. “I know that my redeemer lives.”

In ancient Israel a redeemer was a family member who bought a slaves’ way to freedom.

When the book of Job was written, Israel did not have a well-developed doctrine of the resurrection.

Jobs belief was so strong that he became one of the first to talk about the resurrection of the body.

He said, “in my body I will see God” he was confident that Gods justice would triumph, even if it would take a miracle to accomplish it.

Romans 3:22-24    Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

We are made right in God’s sight when we trust Jesus to take away our sins.

For all have sinned and fall short of Gods standard, yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty.

He has done this through Christ Jesus, God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins, to satisfy Gods anger against us.

We are made right through the redemption of Jesus’ sacrifice. The shed blood, the death, burial and resurrection at the cross.

Trusting Jesus makes us right with God and empowers us to live in victory.
Through the redemption God declares us not guilty; as being justified, just as if we had never sinned.

When God forgives us, our slate is wiped clean.

In old testament times a person’s debts could result in being sold as a slave. The next of kin could redeem him. They could buy his freedom.

Jesus purchased our freedom and the price was His life.

When Christ died in our place, for our sins, he completely satisfied God’s demands. His sacrifice brings pardon, deliverance, and freedom.

Ephesians 1:3-7   Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, means that in Christ Jesus we have all the benefits of knowing God.

Being chosen for salvation, being adopted as his children, forgiveness, insight, the gifts of the Spirit, power to do Gods will, the hope of living together with Jesus.

All because we have an intimate relationship with Jesus. We can now enjoy these blessings.

The heavenly places means, these blessings are eternal not temporal.
Jesus’ death points to two wonderful truths. Redemption and forgiveness.

Through death, redemption was the price for our freedom. It freed us from slavery to sin.

Forgiveness was given on the basis of the shedding of Jesus’ blood, the perfect sacrifice.

This sacrifice was the introduction and reality of Gods mercy, Gods amazing grace, his loving kindness, and His awesome love.

Colossians 1:13-15   Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Jesus the son of God and the light of the world has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us, or transferred us into the Kingdom of God.
Jesus is the image of God or like God.
Psalms 31: 1   In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

Psalms 31:5   Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

We say we have faith in God. Do we really trust Him? We should commit ourselves completely to Him.

God loves and cares for us, even in our circumstances. It is always been part of his loving nature.

Because of God’s amazing grace and his loving kindness, we should be more willing to be his servants.

2 Timothy 2:24   And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

The Lords servants must not quarrel, but must be kind to everyone. We must be able to teach effectively and be patient with difficult people.

If we can do that maybe God will change their hearts and they will believe the truth.

They are being held captive by the devil’s trap. They don’t realize they are doing whatever the devil wants.

1 Corinthians 7:20-24     Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

We may be so concerned about what we could be doing for God somewhere else that we miss a great opportunity right where we are.

Always use your opportunity to honor, serve and speak out for God. God has placed you where you are.

All this depends on how much you are willing to serve. If you have no desire to serve, your understanding of the word by the Holy Spirit will not be elevated in you to a high degree.

God wants the redeemed servants to be warriors. He does not want you to have fear, but to be strong in His might.

So now is the time to make the decision to run a good race. You have the power and authority, grace, wisdom, and angelic protection. Why not Go for it.

WHEN THE WORD IS GONE What will you do?


WHEN THE WORD IS GONE
What will you do?

Phil. 3:18-19   18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

In these last days or better said, we are so close to the rapture days. The world situation is reaching the peak of evilness
People in the world have the mindset that if everyone is doing it then it must be ok… No conscious of sin or wrong doing, burning churches, killing seems to be the thing to do.

There seems to be no right or wrong anymore. People are thinking only on this life on earth, their god is their appetite for shameful things, lust, money, sexual perversion…

Are we responding to the world situations or the inspired word of God? What will we do when the word is gone?

Several things need to take place before the end of days, which is after the rapture. But nothing needs to happen before the son of God takes us out of this world into His world.

If you are not a believer and not serving God through his word, you are in trouble.

Mark 8: 36-38   36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

What would you give in exchange for your soul…? Your soul is made up of your mind, will and emotion.

What will it profit us if we gain all the things of the world and loose our eternity with Christ?

Are we going to be ashamed to stand and look into the eyes of Jesus?

John 14: 6   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:17   17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

The world cannot receive the truth, because the truth only comes through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

You will never know the truth if you haven’t made Jesus the Lord of your life and received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the one who reveals truth to your spirit. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, now is a good time to do that. Say this, Lord thank you for coming to earth to save me. I invite you into my heart today. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Amen.

John 15: 18-19   18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

As Christians we are not of this world; we are here only to be a vessel that Christ can use to carry out what he finished at the cross. The world hated Christ without a cause and the world will hate you also.

Very soon as Christians keep following the religions of the world and not following the word of God, the point of no return will keep getting smaller and smaller.
John 1: 1-5   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The word of God overcame by the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ. This is what the cross is about…

It’s all about the Lord, loving him, serving him, being ready for him to come and take us to heaven when the time is right. Don’t get left behind.

What will you do when the word is gone?

Since it takes the word of God and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to discern, or understand the word how can we continue to renew our minds so our souls, which is made up of our mind our will and our emotion can continue to be fed.

If the word is gone by eliminating all of our bibles and religious materials, the only hope you have left is to have it down in your heart. You need at least the basics. Especially hope.

Hebrews 11:1   11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is not just a word. Faith is a tool of God, used correctly it will produce substance from the heavenly realm to the earthly realm.

It is proof or evidence of things not seen, which means when you ask God for something you must have faith and believe you have it before it manifests in your life, that is faith.

Another basic you need is Gods peace.

Romans 5:1-2   Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Being justified by faith is the only way one can be justified. This is referring to faith in the cross by Christ Jesus. By having faith in the cross and Jesus we have access into this grace which will give us peace. Our faith in Christ always brings glory to the Father.
John 14:27   27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
When Jesus says peace, I leave with you, he is talking about his sanctifying peace. There is a vast difference in peace with God which all believers have and the peace of God.
This is the peace Jesus is speaking of. Not as the world gives. Peace of the world is surface or temporal. The peace given by Jesus is in the heart. This peace heals the troubled heart and takes away fear.
You can’t have this kind of peace with fear dominating you with thoughts of, what will I do if this thing or that thing happens. Believers should have that confidence, the overwhelming peace beyond understanding that God is taking care of it all.
2 Timothy 1:7   For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Fear is an evil spirit and God did not give it to us. He gave us power, love and a sound mind.
2 Timothy 3:1-5   This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
The word perilous means involving danger, risky situations. Having a form of godliness, while denying the power there of. These perilous times spoken here are difficult dangerous time which Christians are living in just before the rapture.
Denying the power, the modern church for all practical purposes has either denied the cross or just flat ignores it. This is where the working of the Holy Spirit works and whom the power resides

1 Corinthians 1:18   18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Spiritual things cannot be discerned by unredeemed people, still the cross must be preached and the unredeemed given every chance to accept Jesus.
We who are saved is the power of God, simply because it was there that the total sin debt was paid. Giving the Holy Spirit in whom the power resides the unction to come work mightily in our lives.
The believer makes the cross the object of his faith, giving the Holy Spirit power to help us. Without the Holy Spirit the believer is helpless against Satan who will put him in bondage, captive to sin.
The only hope we have when people destroy our world around us is the Holy Spirit who is working in our lives even as we speak. As Christians we have the perpetual guidance of the Holy Spirit working in our lives.
